Apartment SARAH - One apartment house with pool

Asunnossa on kaikki mitä meidän lomalla tarvitsee. Sijainti on hyvä, rannat, kaupat, ravintolat kävelymatkan päässä. Auton saa pysäköityä asunnon pihalle. Isäntäväki neuvoo mielellään jos haluaa käydä lähistön muissa kohteissa. Asunto on kuitenkin todella rauhallinen ja sopivan matkan päässä rantaravintoloista, jotta yöt saa nukuttua hiljaisuudessa.

Das Apartment ist in der unteren Etage eines größeren Hauses an einem Berghang. Oben im Haus wohnen die Vermieter. Die beiden sind äußerst freundlich, zurückhaltend und korrekt. Wir wurden sogar von unserem ersten Ferienort in der Nähe mit dem Auto abgeholt. Die Wohnung ist für eine 4 köpfige Familie sehr gut ausgestattet. Es sind auch Moskitonetze vor den Fenstern und wir haben gerne morgens auf der Terrasse gefrühstückt. Der kleine Garten ist schön, es wachsen dort sogar Feigen. Das Haus ist etwas oberhalb der Hauptstrasse und man hört nichts vom Verkehr. Als Tip: Wir haben mit unseren beiden Jungs ( 8+9) immer den Strand des Campingplatzes in der Nähe ( vielleicht 500m weg ) besucht. Dort kann man wunderbar entspannt liegen und die Kinder können im Wasser toben. Die Kiesel am Strand waren kein Problem, es gibt dort überall Isomatten zu kaufen. Dann ist es sogar bequem. Der Vorteil ist, abends hat man keinen Sand im Handtuch oder in den Haaren. Der Hauptstrand war uns zu voll und hektisch. Dort kann man aber auch viel erleben. Kulinarisch ist an der Promenade alles auf Touris eingestellt. Man darf keine Wunder-Menüs erwarten. Die Halbinsel hat uns super gefallen, Wetter war richtig gut, Wasser ganz klar und warm. Trogir ist eine irre schöne, aufregende Stadt. Wir können das Apartment voll empfehlen.

We are a family of 4. (4 adults -> 2 parents + 2 children in their early 20s). We enjoyed our stay (3 nights) at the apartment. The apartment was very clean and spacious and the beds comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of dishes, cups, glasses, cutlery, a few pots and small appliances, providing enough to make basic meals during one’s stay. The unit also has a washing machine and portable clothes dryer/hanger – perfect to refresh one’s clothing. In addition, the unit has both a heating and air conditioning unit ensuring one’s comfort should the temperature outside require its use. (We used the heat setting one evening.) The inside of the unit is as shown in the pictures – with one of the large beds able to separate into 2. The WIFI worked well (and is secure). The outdoor area is lovely – quiet, private and spacious – with seating under an overhang (protection from rain) and seating on open lawn as well (with trees – so you can sit in sunshine or shade). The lawn area is also as shown in the pictures. The area is very quiet even though homes are nearby. We used the apartment as a base to visit Split, Sibenik and Trogir (walking into Trogir from the unit.) It was very convenient and we noticed a few grocery stores on our routes (stopping in a couple. They had all that we needed.) Patricia, the owner, was very friendly and helpful (as was her husband). Patricia corresponded with us a few times, promptly answering questions that we had prior to our stay and was there when we arrived – able to show us around the unit and explain how all worked. I highly recommend the unit and would stay there again if visiting the area. As a secondary point - A restaurant recommendation that Patricia gave to us – Leonardo in Okrug Gornji (a neighbouring district and perhaps a 15 minute walk) – was EXCELLENT! We ate there twice in 2 days (one day sharing a meat platter, another sharing a seafood platter). Both meals were excellent and well priced.

Lovely apartment with beautiful garden and spacious outside seating area. Very close to the sea but no sea view because of other buildings blocking it. Spotlessly clean. Very well -equipped with everything you could possibly need - washing machine, hair dryer, clothes horse for drying clothes outside, insect screens on all windows. Very nice, helpful owner. There are two small supermarkets within 5 min walking distance and a range of shops, banks, restaurants, etc. a little bit further on at the main beach. The apartment is close to several different beaches. We mostly went to the closest one -just a few minutes walk down the hill. It's an artificial beach with white gravel so not all that comfortable to lie on but you get used to it and it has the advantage that sand doesn't get everywhere. The beach is small but is quiet and quite clean (apart from the cigarette butts which are everywhere). It looks out towards an industrial port on the other side of the bay but the water is perfectly clean nonetheless. The main beach is about 5-10 min walk away (take the road up behind the houses to avoid walking on the road with all the traffic). It is lined with bars and restaurant, all with music blaring out. Beach itself is nice and clean, views are beautiful and the water is crystal clear. There are various activities for kids - pedal boats, bouncy castle type areas in the water and lots of agencies selling day trips. Apparently, there are natural beaches on the other side of the island but we unfortunately never made there. Trogir is a beautiful little town, though very busy, of course, at that time of the year. The road in from the apartment is quite busy but there is a back road as well which is shorter. The walk takes about 20 minutes. In the evenings, there are lots of restaurants to try out at the main beach but we liked the one just down at the beach near the apartment, Mediterraneo I think it was called. It's terrace overlooked the water, the food was good and the staff were very friendly. I'm giving the rental 3 stars rather than 4 because although the apartment itself is beautiful, I would have preferred a quieter area. One tip - the apartment is quite hard to find, up a steep hill with no sign so contact the owner in advance to get detailed driving directions.
